Book Review: Every Last Fear by Alex Finlay

 Every Last Fear

Title: Every Last Fear 


Author:  Alex Finlay


Stars: 4


Review:

Alex Finlay has readers guessing how or if the two mysteries are even related to each other.

The story is told though different points of review though different time periods.  The author keeps everyone on track with using time and names at the beginning of each chapter.

The author created characters that will have readers able to connect with from a mother who is FBI agent, to a son who loses his family more than once.  The story brings closure for some and other are left wondering what will happen next to them.

The author create a world that feels as if it was current and could happen to anyone around you.  The story has a flow that helps create, developed, characters and scenes that build on one another even though at the time it might not make since.

Can't wait to read more from this author.

Synopsis:

After a late night of partying, NYU student Matt Pine returns to his dorm room to devastating news: nearly his entire family—his mom, his dad, his little brother and sister—have been found dead from an apparent gas leak while vacationing in Mexico. The local police claim it was an accident, but the FBI and State Department seem far less certain—and they won’t tell Matt why.

The tragedy makes headlines everywhere because this isn’t the first time the Pine family has been thrust into the media spotlight. Matt’s older brother, Danny—currently serving a life sentence for the murder of his teenage girlfriend Charlotte—was the subject of a viral true crime documentary suggesting that Danny was wrongfully convicted. Though the country has rallied behind Danny, Matt holds a secret about his brother that he’s never told anyone: the night Charlotte was killed Matt saw something that makes him believe his brother is guilty of the crime.

When Matt returns to his small hometown to bury his parents and siblings, he’s faced with a hostile community that was villainized by the documentary, a frenzied media, and memories he’d hoped to leave behind forever. Now, as the deaths in Mexico appear increasingly suspicious and connected to Danny’s case, Matt must unearth the truth behind the crime that sent his brother to prison—putting his own life in peril—and forcing him to confront his every last fear.
